"Your Majesty, if this Li Mu is the naturalized Viscount who was canonized yesterday, the subject agrees somewhat. After all, this will be of great help to my Tang soldiers, but I don't know the opinions of the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War."

"My subject agrees." Du Rumei, Minister of the Ministry of War, immediately stood up and expressed his agreement. It would be against his image to be the leader of the Ministry of War if he did not immediately agree to something so obviously beneficial to the Ministry of War.

"Since the Ministry of War agrees to purchase Li Mu's weapons, it depends on the opinion of the Ministry of Accounting." Li Er looked at his elder brother, Sun Wuji, Minister of the Ministry of Accounting.

For Changsun Wuji who had already understood the matter thoroughly, in his heart, he had a good impression of Li Mu.

After all, Li Mu saved his own sister.

Seeing Li Er asking for his opinion, Changsun Wuji stood up and said, "Return to Your Majesty, there is no problem with the household department, but one thing that needs to be understood is how the price of this weapon is determined."

"I heard City King Ren mentioned that Li Mu only needs gold for transactions. For the household department, if copper coins are used, there will be a lot of pressure, but if gold is used, there will be no pressure."

It can be said that there is a very large amount of gold in the household department. These golds were deposited one after another from the end of the Sui Dynasty to the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty.

In addition to being used for palace repairs, it is usually used for rewards to ministers.

The rest can only be left in the household department to eat ashes. For Li Mu's request to use gold for transactions, Changsun Wuji agreed with both hands.

After all, the household department really uses copper coins in large quantities, followed by silver, and then gold, and it often stops when it comes to silver.

When gold is used, it can be said to be negligible.

"As for the price, you have to discuss it with Li Mu yourself." Li Er threw this issue to the two departments of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households.

Du Rumei and Changsun Wuji looked at each other, then bowed and said, "Here."

With the sound of "here", this meeting can be regarded as a successful conclusion.

"Then let's do this. After you and Li Mu have settled, just take a charter and submit it to the three provinces." Li Er made the final summary of the meeting.

As long as the approval of the three provinces is completed, this matter will basically be confirmed.

Except for the big bosses in Ganlu Hall, they all returned to their own departments.

Changsun Wuji accompanied Du Rumei to the Ministry of War, waited for a while, and called Li Mu to the Ministry of War to discuss the price and quantity of weapons and Baiyao.

Chapter 56 Li Mu's Thoughts (Please recommend!)

Back at the Ministry of War, Du Rumei impatiently sent an official of the Ministry of War to invite Li Mu to come to the Ministry of War to discuss matters.

"Brother Changsun, sit down, my military department is not as comfortable as your household department, so you can make do with it."

Du Rumei, who was giving orders, asked her grandson Wuji to sit down from time to time, not forgetting to squeeze her.

There is no way to be the Minister of the Ministry of War, so you have to think about the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Households is a big problem that Du Rumei has to face every year.

Changsun Wuji has always been appropriating the funds for the Ministry of War, and will only allocate funds to the Ministry of War after deducting and then reducing.

That's why Du Rumei ran on eldest grandson Wuji just now.

But Changsun Wuji didn't care too much, both of them were veteran ministers in Prince Qin's mansion, so there was still some magnanimity in this.

Sitting down with a smile, Zhangsun Wuji picked up Du Rumei's teacup and tasted Du Rumei's fried tea. He knew this old man.

Although he is the minister of the Ministry of War and in charge of the army of the Tang Dynasty, he is an out-and-out scholar. He usually likes to drink sencha and read books.

"Brother Keming, you are still so talkative. I couldn't argue with you when I was in Prince Qin's mansion, and you are still like this now."

After placing the teacup on the table, he continued.

"You also understand that it was only a few years after the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Although most of the wealth inherited from the previous dynasty has been inherited, the continuous use of troops by the Tang Dynasty has almost consumed the wealth of the household department."

"Again, this time, I didn't mean to stop at all, I just nodded and agreed. Doesn't Brother Keming still accept my favor?" Changsun Wuji explained why he often cut down on military expenses.

Du Rumei also knew about Changsun Wuji's difficulties, although on the surface he was in charge of the household department, the wealthiest department in the entire Tang Dynasty, and seemed to have a bright future.

In fact, only you know the suffering inside.

Everyone has to ask his eldest grandson Wuji for money. In the past few years, he has spent so much money in wars, and it is really difficult for his eldest grandson Wuji.

Du Rumei also understood, it's just that he was out of habit just now.

"Okay, I know you're taxing the Tang Dynasty, it's a headache. I just said that casually just now. Who would have thought that your eldest grandson Wuji would care so much about this." After speaking, Du Rumei gave the eldest grandson Wuji another cup of tea.

"It's good that Brother Keming understands me." Changsun Wuji said with a smile.

Once the conversation was over, the two sat in the main hall of the Ministry of War, waiting for Li Mu's arrival.

........

At the Guihua Viscount's mansion, when Li Mu saw the officials from the Ministry of War, he knew that Du Rumei was in charge of the Ministry of War.

This is Du Rumei, who is known as Fang Conspiracy and Judgment.

Du Rumei has been assisting Li Er since Li Er became the king of Qin, and accompanied Li Er in the southern and northern wars. It can be said that Du Rumei and Fang Xuanling are Li Er's two great arms to fight the world.

I still admire Du Rumei and Li Mu very much.

Li Mu knew that although Du Rumei was in charge of the military department, he was a scholar.

The first time we met, although we wanted to talk about weapons and Baiyao, buying and selling, but when the talk was over.

Li Mu still has something to ask the other party.

There is a rule in China that you always give a gift when you ask for a favor.

So before going to the Ministry of War, Li Mu asked Meier to wrap him a pound of Yuqian Longjing.

It is used as a first meeting gift for this military boss.

This gift was chosen by Li Mu according to Du Rumei's situation. Maybe Du Rumei didn't have the bad habits of a scholar, but he should have the hobbies of a scholar.

Tea is one of the favorite drinks of every scholar.

The other is wine.

But the artistic conception of tea is more profound than that of wine. The reason why Li Mu didn't send wine is because he didn't have good wine brought from modern times.

It can only send tea.

With a gift, he rode a horse and followed the officials of the Ministry of War towards the Ministry of War.

In Li Mu's mind at this time, he was secretly thinking about what kind of weapons he wanted to sell to Datang, or what kind of weapons the Ministry of War needed.

Li Mu knew that the Tang Dynasty could be regarded as the most prosperous era of cold weapons in ancient China.

Take the Tang Dynasty as an example. When it comes to the characteristic weapons of this dynasty, modern people will naturally think of Tang Dao.
